Description

This very scenic beat on the lower South Tyne includes the full length of a salmon pool. The beat includes a very fine holding pool with a long streamy section at the neck ideally suited to fly fishing. This then opens up into a big deep pool with the deep side on our bank. The rocky tail end is difficult to wade but the adventurer can enjoy excellent fishing.
